What USDC representation leaves Hyperliquid (HyperEVM)?
USDC is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) at 0xb88339cb7199b77e23db6e890353e22632ba630f. HYPE, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset.
What USDC representation arrives on Optimism?
USDC is a contract representation on Optimism at 0x0b2c639c533813f4aa9d7837caf62653d097ff85. ETH, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
Does the same USDC ticker guarantee the same ledger form?
No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a USDC contract token and a USDC contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.
Which gas balances matter for this bridge?
A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.
What destination address should be used?
EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?
Sending on a network other than Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Optimism can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge USDC from Hyperliquid to Optimism without KYC?
